From the loud-and-proud king protea to the sweet and romantic peony, flowers really do speak volumes. With this in mind, it’s important to choose a bridal bouquet that will make a unique statement on your big day. Whether your style is soft and dreamy or wild and colourful, expressing it through flowers is always a good idea.

This year, the top Canadian wedding bouquets chosen by our editors feature bevy of lush blooms, eye-catching colours and textured foliage. While each floral recipe is completely distinct from the next, all of our top picks for 2016 have one thing in common – they are beautifully-arranged works of art designed to perfectly complement a bridal ensemble.

<strong>From the florist:</strong> The pink, monochromatic rose petal bouquet is actually a very traditional design dating back to the 1940s and 1950s when socialites would carry them around during social events, and it's believed that Constance Spry (a very famous floral designer) perfected the circular design. I was simply thrilled when one of my clients requested a composite bouquet because it had been a design on my bucket list!<br />

<strong>From the florist:</strong> This bouquet features the elements we are best known for: garden-style, hand-tied and french braided bouquets with a foraged look. My personal inspiration for this arrangement was two-fold: I spend a lot of time in the south of France each year, and I'm very influenced by the gardens of Provence. Secondly, it was sheer luck to come across the cafe au lait dahlia at an auction the day before the wedding, which took place in early July. I actually took photos and texted them to the bride to get her okay to go ahead with them, and the over-sized dahlia became the focal point of her entire wedding—it was rather serendipitous!<br />
